Chapter t.i.tle: Time for Business (4)
Chapter no. 15
(Qin Zetian's POV)
When I got home I requested for an audience with my uncle and my father, as awkward as that may sound but I want to have things in a respective manner, and this is how business works for me. I know families have an intimate relations.h.i.+p; member to member, and that family members can approach each other easily, but that is not how my father raised me. My third uncle will be away for a month so my plans will be delayed if I let the opportunity slip.
"What is it that you requested for this old man to come? Does my niece need help?"
"Ze'er do you have something important to discuss over?" my father said and I nod a little
"Earlier I negotiated and bought a property, to be exact there are five abandoned shops in one of the most bustling streets here in the capital. The transfer of papers will be done by tomorrow, and I'd like to ask father for help with the matters of the bureau of trades. My savings is more than enough to acquire the shops, have it demolished, build a new shop and run a business. As for third uncle, I know you have all types of connections, can I ask for help in contacting and arranging men to do the labor for the construction? I really want to open a business as soon as possible"
"Why do you need to work when you can have everything if you ask for it?" my uncle asked
"But uncle, I want to have hard earned money. A disposal money, that won't make me guilty if I spend, that will not need other people's permission and buy new things according to my preference. Besides, I cannot solely rely to the family for the rest of my life. As a lady from a n.o.ble family my skills should be far honed in comparison with other young misses from different families."
My father and my third uncle laughed their hearts out. As if what I said was just a joke. I rolled my eyes and smiled. Trying to convince them with my super-cute power.
"Good! I will tell butler Zhang and let him process the doc.u.ments for you." then he started laughing again
"Tell this uncle what you're planning to do and I will hire the best laborer in the capital"
"Uncle, I actually want to demolish the shops that I brought earlier and reconstruct a new one, each of the shops measures 500 m². I want to reconstruct a new building which is made of concrete blocks and cement so it can withstand heavy storm and it won't get burned easily. I want to create a restaurant that has an inn, and on top of it will be a business hall, a meeting hall, and other types of halls that can cater a banquet or a special events."
"Do you have a design in mind?"
"Yes uncle, I have already created a blueprint for the project. What I need is the finalization of the papers and the arrangements for the laborers. I will personally manage the construction and the materials. I need to make an alloy called steel, it will never rust and the blocks need to be concrete. I will also introduce paint to them and the use of illuminating stones that will brighten the shop at night. This will be a five star restaurant, like what I always dreamed of having. The recipes aren't a problem, I have everything in control."
"Good! You brat! How long have you been learning how to start and run a business?"
"You've deceived this old man well, don't you treat me as your father anymore? Why did you keep your plans to yourself? Really unfair ah"
But the both of them continued to laugh.
